This article outlines how computational analysis can be applied to the process of making and evaluating idiomatic reconstructions of polyphonic music from lute intabulations. It focuses on some of William Byrd’s consort songs that survive only as intabulations in one of the lute books owned by Edward Paston (1550–1630), London, British Library, Add. Ms. 31992. Fourteen of the consort songs survive as intabulations and full settings, and form the corpus used in this study; 15 survive only as intabulations needing reconstruction to return them to a performable state. After discussing the context of the pieces, the article presents three analyses: (1) to establish the differences between the tablatures and the full settings, (2) to study more closely these differences in order to inform reconstruction work, and (3) to evaluate three separate reconstructions of Byrd’s ‘In tower most high’ using the corpus and the data collected.

从Paston Lutebooks重构William Byrd的配偶歌曲：一种历史上有据可依的计算方法，用于比较分析和音乐成语

本文概述了如何将计算分析应用到制作和评估琵琶音乐中的复音音乐的惯用重构的过程。它着重介绍了威廉·伯德（William Byrd）的一些伴奏歌曲，这些歌曲只能作为奏鸣曲在爱德华·帕斯顿（Edward Paston，1550–1630），伦敦，大英图书馆，Add。拥有的一本琵琶书中幸存下来。女士，31992年。十四位配偶歌曲以奏鸣曲和完整场景生存，并形成了本研究中使用的主体。15只幸存下来的制表需要重建以使其恢复正常状态。在讨论了各个部分的上下文之后，本文提供了三种分析方法：（1）建立制表法和完整设置之间的差异，（2）更深入地研究这些差异以为重建工作提供参考，
